Why am I receiving failed login emails?As you may have seen in recent news, lists of hundreds of millions of user credentials taken from past breaches (mostly at social networks) are being used for a variety of recent nefarious activity on high profile sites like Netflix and Facebook. As part of LogMeIn’s continuous efforts to improve security, we send out email alerts to notify our customers about login activities.

A failed login attempt notification from LogMeIn means that an attempt to log into your account was not successful. Receiving these emails may indicate an automated attempt to log in by using credentials obtained through 3rd party breaches. Failed attempts mean that you’re probably following LogMeIn’s best practices of regularly changing your password, using complex passwords and/or have used two- factor authentication to further secure your account.

Was there a breach at LogMeIn?We have found no evidence to suggest that there has been a breach of LogMeIn’s systems. We are seeing an increased number of login attempts, likely from hackers testing reused passwords (taken from 3rd party breaches) to obtain access to your account.

If the login attempt was you and it was just an incorrectly typed password, please consider using a password manager such as LastPass to help save and auto-fill your passwords for the future. If the login attempt was not you, we highly recommend that you follow the best practices below.
